WATCH: The UAE's glittering games

The UAE's record-smashing sporting stars are celebrating golden glory – after notching up the nation's best Asian Games medal haul yet.

The history-making heroes have already secured three golds, six silvers and three bronzes at the huge event in Jakarta, Indonesia – surpassing the country's previous best set in Doha 12 years ago – with six days of competition still to go.

They set the gold standard in jiu-jitsu, topping the medals in the table with a brace of golds, five silvers and another two bronzes.
